Similar to yoga, Pilates mat focuses on core strength, which supports the spine properly. I am sorry to hear about the bulging disc, but you can still do so much. Pilates and more specifically Fletcher towel work builds and sculpts the shoulder girdle, releasing tension and balancing the muscle groups of the neck and shoulder. I'd love to work with you :D Jessica- Pilates is definitely low impact. Similar to yoga, Pilates mat focuses on core strength, which supports the spine properly.

It seems to me that Pilates could help strengthen the muscles in my neck and shoulders that fatigue easily, so I would really like to try it!

Tight hips are so common and I can give you plenty of great exercises to loosen it all up. More then just stretching though, Pilates will help you learn to engage the smaller supportive muscle groups so you won't over work your hip flexors.

I've never done Pilates and don't know much about it. I've done yoga about a dozen times and love it for loosening up. I run and train a lot (I play rugby and do triathlons) so I get very tight, especially in the hips. Is Pilates something that would help this? I would definitely be keen for an online workshop.
